The Erigeron genus contains nearly four hundred flowers, in appearance somewhere between a daisy and an aster. The name Erigeron means "old man," referring to the white hair on the seed heads. The common name "Fleabane" comes from the medieval practice of using these dried flowers to repel fleas. This Fleabane Daisy was first discovered in the state of California around 1830 by English botanist David Douglas, who made several trips of exploration to the United States. Douglas also introduced such species as the Ponderosa Pine, Sitka Spruce, and Noble Fir; the common name of Douglas Fir honors his legacy. The Royal Horticultural Society, who commissioned these botanical explorations, first cultivated this daisy as a garden plant.

Because of their unique pattern of multicolored rings, these daisies have become very popular. Originally, this family of flowers grew in 15th century China as an herb; Europeans began cultivating them in the 17th century. This particular variety of tricolor daisy comes from the coasts of northern Africa, or what was formerly known as the Barbary Coast. The poet Chaucer was the first to give this family of flowers the name "day's eye," because of their habit of opening in the morning and closing at night. A common saying of the era stated, "When you can put your foot on seven daisies, summer is come." In the language of flowers, daisies symbolize innocence, simplicity, and modesty.
